God of War 4 is an upcoming third-person action & adventure video game made by Santa Monica Studio and also to be released by Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE). It is scheduled to be published in 2018 for the PlayStation 4 (PS4) console. It will be the 8th game from the God of War series, the eighth chronologically, along with also the sequel to 2010’s God of War III. The narrative is a fresh direction for the show, as it’s going to be loosely based on Norse mythology–most of previous games were based on Greek mythology.

The game is open, but it isn’t open-world. Due to it being available, players may experience optional boss conflicts, along with the normal story-based supervisors. Speedy time events are not like they were in prior games. Instead, enemies display two meters over their heads, one for health and another for stun. Filling the stun meter helps in beating harder enemies. Based upon the enemy, Kratos may rip it in half, or he may catch them and throw them in to other enemies, one of other possible outcomes. Since the ability to swim has been cut out of the game, players instead use a ship to traverse over bodies of water when needed.

God of War 4 Ps4 New Weapons

Leviathan Axe: In God of War 4 gameplay trailer, Kratos’ main weapon appears to be a War Axe, substituting his double-chained blades (having lost the latter in the next game’s decision). In combat, it seems that the Axe has certain magical properties like the ability to freeze enemies once thrown. Similar to World Weapons at Ascension, the Axe can be discarded, but only briefly, as Kratos can muster it back into his hands. Kratos can also use the Axe to reduce down specific objects in the environment like explosives. The weapon itself includes links to Kratos’ son, Atreus, and Jormungandr as Kratos summons the beast with it.

Bow and Arrow: In gameplay preview, Kratos’ son uses bow and arrow to hunt and later help his father in combating with a troll. While the arrows’ fletching is generally red, at the E3 2017 trailer that they appear to be green, leading to the belief that the weapons can be updated.

Collapsible Shield: Kratos has a gauntlet that transforms into a round guard for parrying strikes and wide-ranged attacks. The leaked Collector’s Edition indicates that there’ll be multiple shields, but only have decorative consequences. It looks like the shield can also combo into more powerful Axe strikes as seen in the God of War 4 2018 trailer.

Kratos’ Fists: Even when he was disarmed, Kratos used his fists to finish an opponent in God of War 4.
